How's the weather?

[kinuta]

It's very hot. The average highs have been 36-37C for the last ten days or so.

The a/c is running 24/7.

My younger daughter who's living in Zaragoza in Spain experienced a few days at 43C last month - a record even for there - but now things have dropped back to a normal 32C.

37C again.

The Missus and I are starting to feel seriously frazzled.

 

[kinuta]

38C today. It's too hot to go outside until the evening.

[BillF]

I read that Baghdad reached 51C yesterday. 

[kinuta]

Down to a comfortable and balmy 32C.

What a  difference just a few degrees can make.

Typhoon 15 passing by, well out to sea.

Cooler, 32C, and very clammy with rain showers

Tired of the freaking heat!!!

[BillF]

A giant sinkhole has opened up on one of central Manchester's busiest roads after torrential rain hit the city.

109 today

[Tom 1960]

I don't know how you guys in Arizona deal with that heat.

A giant sinkhole has opened up on one of central Manchester's busiest roads after torrential rain hit the city.

I think you'll find that was dug for Georgie Porgie's Northern Powerhouse idea. Expect it to be filled in before the triumphalist Autumn Conference.

[BillF]

I'm afraid we're back to Northern Shithouse as usual. 

[kinuta]

Cooled down a bit. It's still around 32  but that's no problem after the long spell of super hot weather.

I can actually wear clothes at home again, after weeks of walking round in just my knickers

Two typhoons approaching southern Japan

TOKYO —

Two powerful typhoons, the 15th and 16th of the season, were heading toward southern Japan on Saturday afternoon, the Japan Meteorological Agency said.

The heat here seems to have broken. I'm happy.

[BFrank]

Just your basic 'summer in San Francisco': 63 degrees and overcast.

[BruceW]

Bracing for another week of triple digit heat in San Bernardino.

[BillF]

I think the "Spanish Plume" has reached us.

Hot and smokey.

Fires rage in the Sierra Nevada Mountains.

The air quality sucks.

[A Lark Ascending]

Sort of weather I really like at present. Lots of sun in the day and very warm; then really heavy downpours in the evening (a bit like Singapore!). 

Forecast up here looks like lots of rain across the week. My water buts need replenishing so I'm OK with that. 

[A Lark Ascending]

Still doing this clear days and rain in the evening thing. A real monsoon yesterday evening - water butts sorted with lots to spare in various receptacles. 

[kinuta]

Lovely, the temperature has dropped down to 28 although it's only a temporary relief.

Walked 20K this morning and it was very pleasant. Typhoon tomorrow.
